Battler For Sport

IF you see a man walking about . m Auckland on business bent — with-

out a hat — it is odds-on that he answers to the name of Pountney.

And if you were right m assuming that such was his name, and were inquisitive enough to ask something about him, you would soon learn that T. P. Pountney is no mere nonentity m- the Queen City

'Far 'from it, for m the world of sport there are few men who are better known or more highly esteemed.

T.P.P. believes m a race of he-men— and that is perhaps why he is such a prominent and enthusiastic supporter : of the boxing game.

He , has done much to help, along the Northern Boxing Association, being a member of the, committee and a live wire m all matters pertaining to the betterment of the sport.

T.P.P. is a silent .worker.' Deeds, not words, are more to his liking, and what he does for sport generally— it is no mite of effort, either— he does quietly and without any flim-flam.

Pountney is the best of good sports and deservedly popular.
